Frequently Asked Questions
Place something soft under the head (this could be your hand) to prevent the person from hitting you against the floor; don’t restrict movement or place anything inside the patient’s mouth (don’t worry, he won’t swallow his tongue, and trying to pull it out can cause additional injuries) Call the emergency service (fire department, etc).
When you experience any of the symptoms frequently, it is already worth seeing a specialist. Mainly, if it is causing inconvenience in your daily life.
